[Who follows Christ with heart sincere]
If any man come to Me, and hate not his, &c.
—xiv. 26.
Who follows Christ with heart sincere,
Sits loose to all relations here,
From every creature free:
The tenderest love which nature knows
Compared with what to Christ he owes
May pass for enmity.

Compared with what to Christ he owes
May pass for enmity.

Jesus the Saviour he prefers,
Jesus the Good supreme;
His bosom-friend if Christ demands
He renders back into His hands,
Or dies himself for Him.
